1. incorrect information...
anonymous ,   irvine   (02.09.10)
they were not all arabs...get your facts right and they do not support terrorist activity-they are too busy studying.
2. freedom of speach is very forign to arabs
ghostq   (02.09.10)
they like to here themselves, since the lecture wasn't about palestinians.
4. to #3 ammmmm I can ask the same quetion
ghostq   (02.09.10)
about pali leaders how many sucide bombing did you planned, the truth is Abu mazen even gave money to Munchen mascare, so how many? ask you the same thing. cause Israel got proff but those arab protestors got nothing.

Roni ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.09.10)
Personally, I wouldn't kill a single Palestinean. I would annex ALL the territories and All Palestineans that do not formally pledge allegiance to the state of Israel, would be shipped out to any other Moslem country of their choice.
6. I wonder, how many J Street people participated in the anti-
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.09.10)
Israel "intellectual" riot organized by the Arabs. I can understand the Arabs, they don't accept the very right of Israel to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people and have been calling to erase it from the face of earth by all means possible, including all traces of Jewish civilization. But when I hear of J Street people participating in the call to wipe Israel off the face of earth, what should I think of this organization, its leaders and supporters...??

will be done, when you finally arrive home in Riad, where you belong

Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (02.09.10)
Let's see your moral standing. Please comment on the murder of Shalhevet Pass and the family of Tali Hatuel. Do you condemn unconditionally? Or do you have some excuse?
9. #8
Lev ,   NYC   (02.09.10)
Killing children- abomination. And there's always more than meets the eye: Messianic nut-job settlers targeting civilians- Pass' husband arrested for explosives in his car. CHOSE to live with his family in Hebron. Hatuel CHOSE to live in Gaza. Israelis deserve peace; settlers have made their beds and now must sleep in them. Why, oh why Israel Israeli do you expect anyone to validate the settlers and their delusions? The army is there to protect the whole of the state, not the fringe who CHOOSE to live in danger.
10. The Right to Speak
Barbara ,   Israel   (02.09.10)
We need to ask the Pali's and the Muslim fanatics, what gives them the right to kill Jews and Israelis, and then accuse Israelis of murder in Gaza, when all we did was defend ourselves from 8 years of chronic bombing of our cities. Hypocrisy seems to be the new byword / religion.
11. To #4 WHAT A FUNNY!
Yafa ,   Palestine   (02.09.10)
But tell me Abu Mazen knows that he who financed the Munich operation? I doubt it,I think you're the only one who knows this serious fact
12. I wonder...
AR ,   USA   (02.09.10)
.. did Mr. Oren mention in his speech that Israel has a military blockade on palestine? Did he mention that Israel currently has nuclear weapons? Did he mention that Israel and her policies that require uneven US support are a contributing factor to the Arab worlds animosity towards America? Maybe he just told the crowd "the arabs dont like us and they dont like you so you need us" Wonder what kind of response he would have received if he said "we piss them off (settlements, nakba etc), you help us cuss you can use us as a large military base. You make the guns we use to kill them. They in turn aren't friendly toward you. " wonder what response he would have received. Im no fan of any ME rulers. Not in Tehran or Tel Aviv.
13. rights
Ilana   (02.09.10)
funny how "rights" are used to take away the rights of others. Protesters use their right to speak and protest in order to prevent another from exercisizing those same rights of speaking. Arab countries and others accuse Israel of abusing human rights while Israel is the only real and true democracy in the region, legally upholding the rights of gays, women, minorities etc. Other regimes around here, grossly abuse the rights of its own population and yet belong to all sortsd of human rights organizations, who allow them to join!!! You can't beat up your own family and then join a stop violence in families group. You cannot call us murderers when you are one and a such a terrible one. Why don't the protesters stand up for the rights of arab women and girls in arab countries? Why don't they protest the murder of millions of their own? Why are they quiet when their leaders murder their own in numbers higher than hundreds of thousands? Why don't they protest this? (instead of declaring jihad on christians and jews) The world in large is hypocritical, usually wrong, and then suffers and then repents and then repeats it all again and again.
14. Yafa, you're not making much of an
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (02.09.10)
impression nor achieving any credibility on this board by constantly excusing and justifying the activities of Arab terrorist entities. Furthermore, you create a situation in your posts which allow for no discussion nor mutual understanding. If the negativity which you are creating is your real intent, then you can consider yourself successful. Given your posts, I have to really force myself to keep from believing that all Palestinian Arabs share your unbending and uncomprehending views.
15. Good question, Eitan: How many J Street people demonstrated
Deb ,   Silver Spring, MD US   (02.09.10)
against Israel? And how much money did J Street contribute towards the anti-Israel's activities at Irvine? I suspect, having observed J Street's activities and the people who support it, much was done with its blessing, including a direct blessing by Ben-Ami, toward this anti-Israel/anti-Oren activity.

Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (02.09.10)
You are justifying a sniper that chose to shoot a 9-month old baby in the hands of her father. You are justifying two "men" who shoot 5 little girls and their pregnant mother in her belly. You are saying that we should stop complaining because the 6 million chose to live in Germany and Poland. You prove why there will never be peace. As for the conviction of Shalhevet Pass's father, Itzhak for planting a fake bomb. What do you think of the movie "Commando" by Schwarzenegger, "Straw Dogs" by Hoffman or "Death Wish" by Bronson?
17. #11 You can ask Abu Daoud.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (02.09.10)
Mohammad Oudeh, also known as Abu Daoud as his assumed name in the PLO, was the mastermind of the Munich Olympics Massacre, and was one of prominent commanders of Fatah and the PLO during the 60's and 70's - basically he was there from the very beginning. He operated in Jordan and Lebanon, and in 1971 was the leader of Black September, the Fatah offshoot that decided to kill Israelis in retaliation for being forcibly expelled by the Jordanians. In 1999, he published an autobiography, called From Jerusalem to Munich. There, Abu Daoud wrote that Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas' assumed name in the PLO) provided the funds for the attack in Munich. So yes, I'd say Mahmoud Abbas knows it very well.
18. Employers! DO NOT HIRE THE UCI STUDENTS
Frank ,   USA   (02.09.10)
they lack objectivity, judgment and therefore represent a liability rather than an asset.
19. J Street collaborated with them? Interesting!
Mark Smallanski ,   Chicago U.S.A.   (02.09.10)
20. Typical Lefty Tactic - Dont Listen - Just Shout
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (02.09.10)
Its the hall mark of the left - dont listen - just shout - if you shout down the speaker - ther logic goes - that youve "Won" - in fact - you've lost - becuase youve just destroyed everyone elses right to free assembly - to listen and understand
21. Arabs never kill
(02.09.10)
Keep on living in the Parallel Arab Universe, dear students....
22. Thank you Roman
Jackie ,   Florida   (02.09.10)
I knew that there were records of Abu Mazen's contribution to the massacre during the Munich Olympics, but I failed to find them. I really appreciate the information and the fact that Abbas (the name he uses now) is regarded as a moderate is riodiculous.
23. Reminds me of Concordia
Jackie ,   Florida   (02.09.10)
I was at Concordia U. in Quebec when Bibi was scheduled to speak. The riots by Arabs, which the campus police refused to address, prevented him from speaking at all, and several people attending were injured. including me. However, antisemitism has never been absent from Quebec and the Montreal Jewish community is now only a shadow of itself. Pity, Montreal smoked meat was just about the best.
24. So if Muslims blow up 150 people in Iraq that's ok.
Keep screaming fools   (02.09.10)
It's just a pavlovian reaction to the words: ISRAEL, JEWS, ZIONISTS. They hear these words and go off the deep end and lose control like the brainless morons that they are. Pathetic.
25. Ynet Shaping News Again
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.09.10)
The majority of the students protesting weren't Arabs. They were Americans of mixed races and ethnicities. I saw the direct broadband feed of the incident. Ynetnews would like the people of Israel to think that only American Arabs are against what Israel does to the Palestinian people. But that is not exactly true. While the majority of Americans are in a state of comatose as they watch their Superbowl and eat potato crisps there is a growing segment of the population that is becoming aware of the apartheid nature of the Israeli Occupation of the West Bank. Certainly the intelligent black population in the USA is relating to the plight of the Palestinians. The liberal Christian segment is coming around. The right wing religious fundamentalists practising an Old Testament version of "Christianity" are hopelessly lost when it comes to seeing the fqcts but they will come around when all the money and jobs are gone. Nothing focuses attention like not having food on the table when all the American treasure is gone for having done the bidding of Israel.
26. to #p none chose to die,
ghostq   (02.09.10)
you r not even jewish or chritian if you think that way cause both will never trivial life that way. much like in 9/11 people didn't chose to die.
27. Kick them out
Brod ,   USA   (02.09.10)
The university should kick the Islamist-Jihadist students out for good. Until they know how to abide by American Law, they are a threat to America's institutions.
28. Lev #9
Steve Klein   (02.09.10)
"Settlers" are our true heroes. They are Jews fulfilling our mandate to settle the land of Israel. Lev, I submit you haven't a moral compass.
30. A shame to journalism
urafool ,   Irvine, USA   (02.09.10)
Labeling all the protesters as Arabs immediately destroyed the credibility of this article
